Mazarin Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd buy an RC car again just to have the body! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcroson Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 i want 3 or 4 of them. at least. i have 5 chassis sitting around with no bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcrasta Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes, put an 83 hood on it, Widebody, with factory wheels and a cool looking exhaust and Its good as sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes, put an 83 hood on it, Widebody, with factory wheels and a cool looking exhaust and Its good as sold! bodies don't have wheels but that brings up a good point. where are we going to get wheels that look right with the body? I'd be all about getting one or two of them but it would be to make a shelf queen that is close to scale, and for that, I'll need accurate wheels.

redzone Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 yes 190mm would be the size. for wheels you could use the tamiya taisan starcard 2 piece mesh wheels which look a lot like the enkei or SSR factory japanese option wheels, or the 2 piece tamiya nismo LM GT wheels as in this pic which are a 5 spoke with a chrome outer: http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/Coxerelli/taisan1.jpg these wheels are easy to find on ebay, not sure if they still sell em ex factory or not though...

D_Venable Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 depending on my job situation when these get done, I'd be down for a few of them (anywhere from 3-5 of them) Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzone Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 its looking pretty promising guys. no word on cost at this stage, but i think it'll be cheaper than most other brands.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest4life Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) I don't even have a car but I would buy at least 1 if not 2. I do like the 83 hood idea then it will match mine. Then I will have a reason to buy a car. Do we have a forum for addicted buyers yet? I need to visit it. Its no wonder I am always broken I buy everything I see. Whats a guy to do, its all such cool stuff! LOL :confused0024: Edited July 2, 2008 by Quest4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzone Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 have a look at the forum i linked to in my first post here, the guy's username is illacrew, he's in denver, colorado. any denver based starquester's want to contact him? he was keen to take a look at one in real life. probably just have the stock hood, as thats how the 3DCAD file i gave him was...

jszucs Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ok I think im about to date myself here but would this fit over my old Fox 10? and what would be the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 i can modify the cad file if you need but I didnt draw the original file and i dont have an 83 hood, do they make these shells without the rear view mirrors? i cant imagine how they would pull the shell off the mold any other way.

HobO89Quest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I'd buy 2 off the bat. Only because a scaled down model would be 10X easier to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
